A cathode ray tube contains a pair of parallel metal plates $1.0\, cm$ apart and $3.0\, cm$ long. A narrow horizontal beam of electron with a velocity $3 \times 10^7\, m/s$ passed down the tube midway between the plates. When a potential difference of $550\, V$ is maintained across the plates, it is found that the electron beam is so deflected that it just strikes the end of one of the plates. Then the specific charge of the electron in $C/kg$ is
